Arriving at the famous Malakoff Tower, I saw two columns of scaffolding mounted in front of the building. Hanging on the structures SPLACH, making his "organic wild style" letters; and JOHNY C, creating one of his "humanoids crabs."

While the time was passing slowly and fatigue seemed to persuade these two artists, I passed out on the sidewalk and slept a few hours in a corner smelling of piss.

ASSEMBLING THE CIRCUS

On the next day we went back to work in the internal space. Nathália Vieira managed the team, AREM worked the screw driver and the hammer, and Chico Science harmonized the place through music coming out of speakers.

Another night of stunts and improvisation: hot coffee and cold coke to give us energy, bread and bologna to fill our belly, hammering and spray paint on the walls to finish. In the morning, when all seemed finished, it was time to dismantle the scaffolding as spider men, dodging electric wires.

OPENING THE HOUSE

On March 12th, after a bath and some perfume, everybody came for the opening. Good music, party atmosphere and a real smile on the face of everyone. I'm sure that the ground floor of the Malakoff Tower had never received an expo like that.

Outside the works painted by JOHNY C, SPLASH and RAFA B took the breath of passersby. The many meanings and symbols present in the paintings seemed just silly details for the most distracted, but certainly passed the message to the most attentive: OCCUPY AND RESIST! ALWAYS! Inevitable remember the story of the "Trojan Horse".

GRAFFITI 360º

In the first room there is no space for anything besides Graffiti! JOHNY C, SPLACH, RAFA B, SKAZ, AZUL de BARROS and ARBOS terrified every corner of the walls with very fine works. All connected, harmonized, integrated, balanced. The feeling was a complete flood of street art, which erased any distraction.

INSIDE FRAMES

In the second room, works of all artists, and a highlighted place for GUGA BAYGON, which occupied the center of the room with one of his "characters from another world" trapped in a glass chamber. In the surroundings, canvases, prints, illustrations, and sculptures. Different techniques, languages and approaches to the same subject. The whiteness of the walls was broken coherently and consistently. The vent space between the works was essential to avoi us to get drowning in so much content.

Amazing to see how the chaos can bring such beauty. Magic to realize that from the mangrove mud, springs so much life. Long life to the MangueBeat movement and its consequences that echo through the streets.
